Tucson Officer Just Barely Beats A Perp to the Shot
This video from Active Self Protection analyzes a critical incident in Tucson, Arizona, where an officer narrowly avoids being shot by a suspect armed with a .40 caliber handgun. Host John Correia, a recognized expert in defensive firearms training, breaks down the engagement, emphasizing the importance of being 'first to hit' rather than just 'first to shoot.' The analysis covers the suspect's actions, the officers' response, and the critical transition to providing medical aid. It also contrasts law enforcement missions with those of private citizens and highlights the need for advanced marksmanship training beyond basic qualifications.
